Trip to Seattle...

As I type, my Tristin and sweet friend, Brother Murphy, are in Washington picking up my Great Grandmother's piano for me. Tristin is hanging out with my family at a cabin near the lake while Rich is hanging out his sister who also lives in the area. Later tonight they will swing by my brother's house to retrieve the piano and haul it home! Tristin is having so much fun there all by himself. I knew it would be good for him to get away and feel like a grown up. Brother Murphy is amazing and offered to drive over with his truck and help us out. After hours on the phone with U haul and the dealership, searching the internet, hearing and reading conflicting info and debating weather or not our vechile would/could/should make the trip- he offered to do it for us and spare the possibility of us being stranded along the mountain pass with 5 kids and a piano. I cannot thank him enough for his amazing heart. Thank you dear friend,Just get back safe to me boys...

The new and improved...

Our house

Our new house! We'll be painting the outside soon... hopefully this years taxes will be nice to us so we can get it done. We also want /need to put vinyl windows in. The aluminum ones are super fun!

My fridge!!!

I have wanted an old fridge for years, so naturally, God led me to this yard sale where I found it for $40.00. (And who says he doesn't lead me to good deals?)

My wild flowers in the kichen

Here are the flowers I painted in the kitchen. Notice my AWESOME floor (YEAH!!) and the donated floating orb from Audra (the light came out of her last house. When I saw it, I knew it would look cool somewhere in the house.

The flowers in the main bathroom

I had fun with these ones. I had to have some bright ones too!

My hot pink bathroom!

Yes, I have the greatest husband of all times. He let me have a hot pink bathroom!

My fireplace!

I HATE brick, so I painted this one white. This was the wall that had wall paper on it and then the nasty wall paniling behind it. It looks much cutier now!

Miss Daisy

I was taking pictures of the kids last week in the leaves, and loved this one of Daisy. She's my girl and SO much fun these days. We can hang out together now and it's a blast.
